Yesterday was a big day for defending our freedom and privacy on the
Internet. The FSF and its supporters joined the ranks of thousands for Reset the Net, the biggest-ever day of action against bulk
surveillance.

Today we're joining our allies at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in kicking off the Tor Challenge, an effort to strengthen the global Tor network that protects Internet traffic from surveillance.

One year ago today, an NSA contractor named Edward Snowden went public
with his history-changing revelations about the NSA's massive system
of indiscriminate surveillance. Today the FSF is releasing Email
Self-Defense, a guide to personal email encryption to help everyone,

releasing it as part of Reset the Net, a global day of action to push
back against the surveillance-industrial complex.
